Paris Fashion Week had already been buzzing with excitement over major designer debuts — but on Saturday night, Meghan Markle unexpectedly became the center of attention.

The Duchess of Sussex made a surprise appearance at the Balenciaga show, marking her first-ever attendance at the prestigious Paris Fashion Week.

The show also celebrated the debut of Balenciaga’s new creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli, whose arrival was one of the most anticipated moments of the season.
